tiger would have to play his worst golf for me to come close to beating him...

however, i would think as long as i had a route memorized, it wouldn't be very difficult to catch a pass. it's not like i have no agility/quickness to get mildly open. i have decent hands.

I don't think it's fair that you specify Tiger Woods and in all the other options, it's just some professional.

[Vince Young]

Stopping a penalty kick is by far the easiest.

None but with stopping penalty kick I may be able to get lucky and guess right.

[Russ McGinley]

Easiest to hardest:

Catching an NFL pass - Quick pass at line of scrimmage takes care of this
Blocking a penalty kick - Take a guess
Single against an MLB pitcher - Close your eyes and swing
Beat Tiger in 3 holes - Hope Tiger no-shows
Beat NBA player first to 5 - Fling it from half court and pray

I would also say it should be more specific, like singling off Roger Clemens and beating Kevin Garnett.

[BadBoyBenny]

Well, I figured the 2+2 population has more people who are skilled at golf than any of the other sports. I think your average tour pro can go on a pretty bad 3 hole strech. So, I thought it would be way too likely to be the easiest. I guess I could have done a PGA pro over 6 holes.

Hit a single against a major league pitcher – Pedro Martinez

Catch a pass against an NFL defense from a wide receiver position – Lined up against Ty Law before his injury in bump and run coverage.

Stop a penalty kick by a World Cup soccer player – I don’t know who would be good. I guess Beckham or someone who is a PK specialist.

Win a one on one game to 5 baskets against an NBA player – Kevin Garnett

[Aytumious]

I'm a fairly skilled basketball player, but I'd literally have to injure my opponent to ever have a chance in a game of one on one.

Edit: Now that you say it's Garnett, seriously, how many 2+2ers could even score 2 points against him in a game to five, assuming we are going a point a bucket.

There isn't a chance in a million years that I'd beat an NBA player in a game of one on one. Maybe if I started with the ball and we played winners, but even then I'd have to hit the most rediculous shots in a row to even have a tiny chance. I'd say the easiest would be the penalty kick as you could probably guess right 10 to 15 percent of the time. I've played goal before, albeit at a much, much lower level, and as long as it was a shoot out and not a penalty kick where I'd have to control the rebound, I think 10-15% is an accurate guess, even higher if shots that hit the post or go wide count. Otherwise, there would be no incentive for them to do anything other than shoot for the tightest corners and if it hits the post, well, try again.

just find the hole in the zone. or a screen pass. either way.

[BadBoyBenny]

You are in a wide receiver position, not the backfield and you will be bumped as soon as the ball is snapped.

Most of us would go down like an injured Todd Heap on the first play.

Note that the cornerbacks usually play off the WRs because they have to respect the receiver's ability to sprint past them and catch a deep pass. They may not afford you the same courtesy.

[Blackjack]

You'd get steam rolled by Ty law... unless it was a WR screen and you got lucky enough that he didn't knock you over before you even caught the ball

....and you've stopped a penalty kick before...by anyone?? Do you know what is involved in doing this?

I'd think the easiest one would be get a hit off a major league pitcher. Anyone up for bunting and running your a$$ off??? /images/graemlins/grin.gif

I thought that was pretty funny too, considering most pro soccer goalies have a hard enough time at this as it is. 'Guessing right' is only 1/2 the battle. You still need to stop it.

Catching the pass is obviously the easiest. I am assuming that I do not need to catch it against the entire defense, just the guy covering me. In addition, assuming we are playing by NFL rules, I get to catch the ball before being hit right? So it's just a matter of hanging on to it.

After looking at this for a few days, my list is:

Easiest
1. NFL
2. MLB
3. Soccer
4. NBA
5. Golf

but really, I think this reflects short term luck more than anything else.
